""I was born traveling. My first memories are connected to the scent of new places. Luggage just opened, mothballs, shoe polish and the particular scent that permeated my mother's dresses." The life experiences, and travel memoirs of one of the most fascinating witnesses of the XX century: Dacia Maraini, one of Italy's most famous writers, arguably the most translated Italian author in the world. This film is an intimate diary, narrated through unseen photos and film clips, revisiting her memories of legendary journeys around the world with her partner Alberto Moravia and her close friends Pier Paolo Pasolini and Maria Callas. "During our journeys Alberto used to write articles for magazines, I would jot down notes for my novels and Pier Paolo scouted for movie locations. A journey back through Dacia Maraini's past, as well as a gripping portrait of the XX century shown through the historical events she lived through first hand that would deeply influence her work and artistic path. "I travel a lot so as to surpass the temptation of settling into a routine. Routine shortens the time we have, travel enlarges it"--Written by Anonymous -- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3585418/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl (as viewed on April 10, 2015).

O filme aborda a vida e a obra do poeta Patativa do Assaré, destacando a relevância dos seus poemas, o significado político dos seus atos e a sua imensa contribuição à cultura brasileira. Dono de um ritmo poético de musicalidade única, mestre maior da arte da versificação e com um vocabulário que vai do dialeto da língua nordestina aos clássicos da língua portuguesa, Patativa do Assaré é a síntese do saber popular versus saber erudito. Mesmo quando ainda era violeiro e encantava os sertões com o som da sua viola e a beleza de seus versos improvisados, a sua fama já chegava aos salões literários das grandes cidades, e a sua obra despertava o interesse de renomados escritores e intelectuais brasileiros.--Container.
